📖 LPCG CHESS — Player Manual

Lost Pixel City Generations Battles — chess played with your fully on-chain pixel warriors.

What is LPCG?

Lost Pixel City Generations (LPCG) is an 11,104-piece pixel-art collection of chess warriors on Robinhood Chain. Each warrior carries a real Chess Role and Side (Light/Dark) in its metadata — that's how we build 347 complete armies. In this game each NFT becomes a 3D voxel piece on its own square.

How the game works

The collection is split into 347 boards (347 × 32 = 11,104). Each board fields 16 white + 16 black warriors.
The board floats on a neon ocean; each team's rain color is taken from its NFTs' background (green / red / blue…).
Drag to orbit the board 360°. Click a piece to see its legal moves, click a marker to move. Each piece floats its chess symbol + square (e.g. ♞ E2).
Captured warriors sink under the water, keeping their scale.
Clock: 21 minutes per side.

How each piece moves

♟Pawn — forward 1 (or 2 from start), captures diagonally. Promotes to Queen on the last rank.

♞Knight — an "L": 2+1. The only piece that jumps over others.

♝Bishop — any distance diagonally.

♜Rook — any distance straight (ranks/files).

♛Queen — straight + diagonal, any distance.

♚King — one square any direction. Protect it — checkmate ends the game.

▶ Quick start — how to play

Pick a board (one of the 347 armies) or just start — you play White.
Click your piece → green markers = moves, red = captures → click a marker to move. Drag to orbit 360°, wheel to zoom.
Choose 🤖 vs Machine (free, PRO AI) or 👥 vs Community (open/join a versus room) with the top button.
Connect your wallet (⛓ On-chain) to see your LPCG count + profile, record wins and mint the battle art.
Checkmate or the clock ends the game → you see win / lose; winners preview their on-chain print.

Game modes — in detail

🤖 vs Machine (FREE · PRO engine) — you are White, the machine is Black. The AI is a real engine: alpha-beta search with iterative deepening (up to depth 4), piece-square positional evaluation, bishop-pair bonus, move ordering (MVV-LVA) and a quiescence capture search, time-budgeted (~1.5s/move) so it never freezes and never blunders randomly — a tough club-level opponent. Free to play; if you own an LPCG your win can be recorded on-chain.
👥 vs Community — versus rooms (micro-stake) — toggle with the 🤖 / 👥 button. Open a table/room that appears in the live lobby so other LPCG owners can join, with a live chat at the table that is saved on the server per room. Two owners each stake 0.20.

Payments & economy

Per PvP match the pot is 0.40 (2 × 0.20) and splits:

🏆 Winner 0.34

🌐 Community 0.04

🛠 Deployer 0.02

🤖 vs Machine: FREE

Only wallets holding ≥1 LPCG can enter PvP or record a score (checked on-chain via balanceOf). If nobody joins your table, your stake is refunded.

👤 Your profile & private record

Connect your wallet (⛓ On-chain panel): we read your address and how many LPCG you hold on Robinhood Chain (live balanceOf). Only owners (≥1 LPCG) can score or mint the art.
Your profile shows your record — games · wins / losses · minutes played. We keep a private server log of who plays and for how long, stored off the public web-root (not exposed publicly).
End of game: a clear 🏆 YOU WIN or 💀 You lost with your moves, captures and time. Only the winner may preview the match "print" — the fully on-chain SVG of the battle (both sides' move-lines) — and recolor / mint it as a unique 1/1 LPCGB.

The vision — LPCGB fully on-chain art

Only the winner (and they must own an LPCG) can mint the match into LOST PIXEL CITY GENERATIONS BATTLES (LPCGB) — a fully on-chain, interactive art collection on Robinhood, open only to winning owners. The art captures the move lines of both players (winner + opponent) as triangular patterns, plus duration, move count and the minter's ETH address. The SVG is rebuilt on-chain by tokenURI() — no server, no IPFS.

The minter can edit the colors of both sides and the background, or randomize an opposite-hue palette (complementary tones across the full chromatic scale) so every pattern is a unique 1/1 — co-created by the 2 players + DCOT.

Micro-payments + community pool + smart contracts + on-chain art = a self-sustaining arena owned by the holders.
